Böcker av Sugata Bose

Across the twentieth century, Asians imagined universalist ideals centered on the idea of Asia itself, rivaling European colonial thought, liberalism, and race-based nationalisms. Sugata Bose explores the history of Asian universalisms and reflects on their potential amid ongoing nationalist rivalries tied to religious majoritarianism and violence.

Provides insight for those with an intellectual curiosity about South Asia. After sketching the pre-modern history of the subcontinent, this book focuses on the last three centuries. It offers an historical understanding of the politics, cultures, and economies that shape the lives of more than a fifth of humanity.

This definitive biography of Subhas Chandra Bose, the revered and controversial Indian nationalist who struggled to liberate his country from British rule before and during World War II, moves beyond the legend to reveal the impassioned life and times of the private and public man.

This book takes us to the shores of the Indian Ocean, in a brilliant reinterpretation of how culture developed and history was made at the height of the British raj. Bose explores the social and economic webs of these shores from 1850-1950, finding evidence of the interdependence of the peoples from the Middle East to East Africa to Southeast Asia.

As well as being an outstanding contribution to Indian economic and social history, this book draws important conclusions about peasant politics in general and about the effects of international economic fluctuations on primary producing countries.
